Notice anything unusual about this fabric? Look carefully. Or maybe not even that carefully.
Yeah, that. I think it’s supposed to look like a knot in the wood grain. Alas, it calls to mind something else entirely.
I didn’t notice this when I bought the fabric…I was just excited about the ombré effect and the wood grain pattern. It wasn’t until I got it home and I stood draping it around myself in front of the full length mirror that I noticed a problem. In that moment, my pattern placement was, let’s say, bang-on.
I’m bravely forging ahead regardless, making a romper using McCall’s 7099 — just placing the pattern pieces very carefully. I’ve got most of it sewn up and it should be ready for primetime after the usual hacking down by several sizes that seems to be a standard part of my sewing process. Details to come!

Delightful. It happens though. A young friend of mine came by in a lovely pink sort of repeat rorschach print skirt that she called her “vagina skirt”.

Coming to TO on the 22nd for a few days and staying with a friend who lives on Melbourne between King and Queen Streets. Are you in that ‘hood? Any chance for a meetup coffee or tea?
And, by the way. That image? Praying hands! Must be the Catholic background.

Sounds like fun, Barbara! You’re not far from Designer Fabric Outlet…perhaps we should go for some fabric ogling. Shoot me a message at frivolousatlast@gmail.com and we’ll figure it out.
